WHAT THEY BUILD
What can nearshore cloud developers build? Every layer of a cloud-native application.
Nearshore cloud developers from ParallelStaff cover the full cloud application lifecycle — from serverless functions and microservices through managed data stores and cloud-native integrations. Here's how different cloud development specializations map to your business outcomes:
Schedule a call
AWS Developer
Builds cloud-native applications using AWS services — Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB, S3 — for teams standardized on AWS.
Azure Developer
Builds cloud-native applications using Azure services — Functions, Cosmos DB, App Service — for teams standardized on Microsoft's cloud stack.
GCP Developer
Builds cloud-native applications using Google Cloud services — Cloud Functions, Firestore, BigQuery — for teams standardized on GCP.
Serverless Application Developer
Specializes in event-driven, serverless architecture that scales automatically and minimizes idle infrastructure cost.
Microservices / Cloud Architecture Developer
Designs and builds distributed, service-oriented applications that scale independently and integrate through APIs or message queues.
Cloud Migration Developer
Re-architects existing applications to run natively in the cloud, moving beyond a simple lift-and-shift to a design that takes advantage of managed services.
TECH EXPERTISE

From intro conversation to contributing nearshore cloud developer in 10 days.
Four steps. No lock-ins. No upfront cost.
STEP 1
Intro conversation
We get to know your team, your current roadmap, and where the engineering gap actually is, whether it's a single skill set, a timeline crunch, or broader capacity. No commitment, no proposal yet, just a 20-30 minute conversation to confirm staff augmentation is the right fit before we go further.
STEP 2
Discovery call
We go deeper into the specifics: required tech stack, seniority level, time zone and communication expectations, and how the engineer will plug into your existing tools and sprint cadence. We walk you through pricing, our vetting process, and what onboarding looks like, so you're deciding with full visibility, not a generic sales pitch.
STEP 3
Build your engineering capacity
We define the role and team structure based on what you confirmed in discovery, then present pre-vetted engineers who've already passed technical, problem-solving, and English fluency screening, no unvetted resumes in the mix. You interview and select who joins your team, we handle contracts and agreements, and most roles go from shortlist to onboarded in 5-10 days.
STEP 4
Ongoing performance and accountability
Once your engineer is live, we don't disappear. We run monthly business reviews and biweekly syncs to track delivery, flag risks early, and confirm the engagement is still the right fit as your roadmap evolves. If something needs to change, whether that's scaling the team up or adjusting scope, we handle it before it becomes your problem.

Everything you need to know to hire nearshore cloud developers.
Most companies receive a curated shortlist of pre-vetted nearshore cloud developers within 5 days of scoping their requirements. From first conversation to a productive developer contributing to your sprint, the typical timeline is 10 days or less — compared to a 3–6 month US recruiting cycle for equivalent seniority.
Nearshore cloud developers through ParallelStaff typically cost 30–50% less than equivalent US-based hires, while working in your timezone. The savings come from labor market differences across LATAM, not from lower seniority — developers are matched to your required skill level and cloud platform.
A cloud developer builds the application itself — serverless functions, microservices, cloud-native features — while a DevOps engineer builds and maintains the CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure that deploy and run it. Many teams need both; ParallelStaff can staff either role, or a paired hire, depending on whether your gap is in application code or in infrastructure and deployment.
The right choice depends on your existing cloud provider: AWS fits the broadest talent pool and service catalog, Azure fits teams already invested in Microsoft's ecosystem, and GCP fits teams prioritizing data and analytics services. ParallelStaff matches developers to your existing or planned cloud provider rather than pushing a default platform.
Every nearshore cloud developer is evaluated on technical depth, real-world cloud-native application history, and Cambridge-assessed English proficiency before being presented to a client. Only the top 5% of applicants in our network pass this process.
ParallelStaff places AWS, Azure, and GCP developers, plus serverless application developers, microservices/cloud architecture developers, and cloud migration developers — matched to your specific platform rather than filled from a generic developer pool.
ParallelStaff maintains a 94% engineer retention rate and is ISO 27001-certified, so placements are built to last and client application code and cloud infrastructure are protected under an audited security framework. If a placement isn't the right fit, replacement terms are covered under the engagement agreement.
ParallelStaff supports full-time embedded hires, part-time/fractional engagements, and contract-to-hire arrangements, so you can scale a developer's involvement up or down as your roadmap changes without restarting a hiring process each time.
Yes — ParallelStaff has scaled clients to 40+ placed engineers across full delivery teams, so a single point of contact can staff an entire cloud application pod rather than one hire at a time.
Yes — nearshore cloud developers join your standups in real time because of US timezone alignment, and work directly inside your existing cloud accounts, repos, and CI/CD pipeline from day one rather than a separate offshore workflow.
Yes — ParallelStaff provides ongoing account and delivery management after placement, so application performance, cloud cost efficiency, and retention are actively monitored rather than left entirely to the client after onboarding.
